Cover Story

The Riddle of Noise

TIn Dhaka you are never far away from noise. Often it is the deafening hydraulic horn, or the groaning of the ancient engines of cars choking the streets, sometimes it is the grinding machine mixing sand and cement in a nearby construction site or the high voltage shrilly shout in the name of band music in the ‘gaye holud’ programme from the rooftop in your neighbourhood that torment us. Noise follow you at yours heels. Unfortunately, many of us seem to be oblivious of the dear price we have been and will be paying because of our prolonged exposure to noise. As urbanites we must wake up to its adverse effects, if not for our sake, for the sake of our children.
